Commissioner Roberts noted her concurrence with Commissioner's Cooper's views that these are sporting firearms, that firearms are not displayed inappropriately, handguns will not be sold at WalMart, and that the sale of firearms at WalMart do not create an attractive nuisance. She expressed her support with the mandated 15-day waiting period and noted that there was a conscious decision for mixed-use development in Hacienda. She concluded by stating she would vote in support of approving application. Chairperson Kumaran noted his previous participation on the Planning Commission when the zoning ordinance was effected. He noted his support with the 15-day waiting period for firearm sales and not selling ammunition at the time of firearm purchase. However, he noted that due to the close proximity of playgrounds and residences to WalMart, the findings are not met and he would not vote in favor of approving application. Discussion ensued among the Commissioners relating to appropriate locations for sale of firearms and whether there are any appropriate locations for sale of firearms in Pleasanton. A motion was made by Commissioner Kameny, seconded by Commissioner Cooper, to make the required use permit findings, and approve Case UP-98~75, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit "B." Resolution No. PC-99-01 was entered and adopted as motioned.

The Municipal Code amendment would allow the Zoning Administrator to approve or deny a second unit after an administrative hearing and would create development standards for second units in R-1 (Single Family Residential) and R-M (Multiple Family Residential) zoning districts. Mr. Iserson referenced the staff report dated January 13, 1999 and highlighted key areas contained in the report including background information, project description, open space requirements, public notice, and detached second unit setbacks. He mentioned that the Planning Commission had previously heard a proposed Second Unit Ordinance and had continued it so that staff could draft an ordinance with greater setbacks for detached second units and to preclude detached second units in zoning districts with PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Page 4 January 13, 1999
